What is Oman IoT/AI Challenge
Oman IoT&AI Challenge is a country wide capacity building and pre-
incubation program for High School Students, Senior University Students
and Startups that have innovative ideas in the areas of Internet of
Things(IoT) & Artificial Intelligence(AI) and related fields.
The challenge is not just a competition, it’s a digital transformation
movement, that’s why it delivers training and workshops to the
participants and provides them with all the needed support. After the
training, participants compete in the local finals, then winners from each
country get qualified to the regional finals within the IEEE Global
Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things (GCAIoT) in
Dubai in December.
The Challenge is a part of Arab IoT AI Challenge as part of the digital
transformation movement of the organization. Joining the competition
will open every team participant to enhance their skills in developing
projects in Internet of things and Artificial Intelligence through workshops
and training during the entire length of the competition.
The winner of this competition will be the first entry of Oman to the
Regional Finals within the IEEE Global Conference on Artificial Intelligence
and Internet of Things (GCAIoT) in Dubai in December 2021.
